<p><b>CAN YOU STOP A PANIC ATTACK NATURALLY?</b></p>
<p>Are you afraid  you will never be free of anxious thoughts? Are you in constant fear of  another panic attack? Don&#8217;t be discouraged. The reality is that as long  as you keep an open mind, you can stop panic attacks naturally by  yourself with one simple technique.</p>
<p>At this moment, you may feel  that these fearful thoughts are beyond your control. They are not. You  may feel that your life is forever ruined. It is not</p>
<p>Though not  life threatening, this cycle of frightening episodes need to be stopped  as it can hijack your life and make you miserable. But before you can do  that, it is important to first understand the composition of a panic or  anxiety attack.</p>
<p><b>ANXIETY AND PANIC ATTACKS - HOW ARE THEY  CONNECTED?</b></p>
<p>A panic attack is the onset of a sudden feeling of  fear for no apparent reason at all. A person having an episode has  anxious thoughts that something awful is going to occur. Feelings of  extreme anxiety lead to fear, which in turn triggers panic attacks.</p>
<p>Fear  of driving, fear of fainting, fear of going out of the house, and even  fear of having another attack are just a few of the fears preceding this  dreaded disorder. Regrettably, these intense episodes of anxiety and  fear can consume your whole being and make your life unbearable.</p>
<p><b>SYMPTOMS  OF PANIC ATTACKS - THE MIND IS INVOLVED, BUT WHAT ELSE IS AFFECTED?</b></p>
<p>The  mind is where panic or anxiety attacks take seed. But it doesn&#8217;t stop  there. Not surprisingly, anxious, fearful thoughts set off extreme  physical reactions which can be debilitating to your body.</p>
<p>Palpitations,  dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea and difficulty breathing are some of  the physical symptoms that accompany an episode. Unfortunately, some of  these symptoms are so similar to having a heart attack that some people  are misdiagnosed as having one and go on to have unnecessary medical  tests!</p>
<p>Rest assured that no extreme harm will come to you from  having an attack. Remember, you&#8217;ve experienced an episode before and  lived through it.</p>
<p><b>STOPPING PANIC ATTACKS WITH ONE SIMPLE  TECHNIQUE - IS IT REALLY POSSIBLE?</b></p>
<p>Absolutely! If you learn  nothing else, here&#8217;s a simple, 4-step technique you can apply right  away. When you feel an anxious thought coming, don&#8217;t fight it. The  harder you deny it, the more distressed you become.</p>
<ol>
<li>Accept the thought but make an effort not to react to it. Be strong  and stand your ground. Let all the scary emotions run through your body,  but do not give in to the fear.</li>
<li>Pretend the fear is a passing cloud and observe it.</li>
<li>Label the cloud with the type of fear you are feeling. Be specific.</li>
<li>Finally, once the cloud of fear passes, feel the sense of relief,  and resume what you were doing.</li>
</ol>
<p>As you must know, practice makes perfect. Master this technique and  you will acquire a more serene and peaceful life.
<p>Just imagine  for a moment a life without anxiety. Hold on to that feeling because  you absolutely can have that life right now.</p>
</p></div>

<p><strong>WHAT IS PHOSPHORUS?</strong></p>
<p>Phosphorus is an important <a href="http://blog.freefitnesstips.co.uk/category/diet-and-nutrition/micronutrients/minerals/macrominerals" target="_self">macromineral</a> that keeps your bones and teeth strong.  It is the second most abundant macromineral in the human body, accounting for around 1% of an average adult&#8217;s bodyweight.  In this article I am going to look at phosphorus in greater detail and explain why you should ensure it is part of your diet.</p>
<p><strong>WHEN WAS PHOSPHORUS DISCOVERED?</strong></p>
<p>Phosphorus was accidentally isolated in 1669 by German alchemist Hennig Brand.  He was attempting to convert metals into gold and was convinced that urine was the key to doing this.  In one of his experiments Brand heated and purified urine and unintentionally isolated the glow in the dark substance phosphorus.  The discovery of phosphorus is notable because it is the first time someone had discovered an element that was unknown to ancient people.</p>
<p>Prior to Brand&#8217;s discovery there are many possible historical references to phosphorus with a number of ancient manuscripts referring to a material that glowed in the dark.  However, Brand was the first person to record the process of isolating this element.</p>
<p><strong>HOW DOES YOUR BODY USE PHOSPHORUS?</strong></p>
<p>In an average person phosphorus makes up around 1% of the total bodyweight.  The majority of phosphorus in the body (around 85%) can be found in the bones and teeth where it bonds with <a href="http://blog.freefitnesstips.co.uk/calcium-explained.html" target="_self">calcium</a> to form calcium phosphate.  The remaining 15% is found in the cells and bodily fluids where it is used to perform various functions.</p>
<p>The main function of phosphorus is to assist in the formation of strong bones and teeth.  However, it does much more than just support healthy bones and teeth.  Phosphorus is also responsible for:<br />

<p><strong>HOW MUCH PHOSPHORUS DO YOU NEED?</strong></p>
<p>Our need for phosphorus is greatest during our teenage years.  According to <a href="http://health.nytimes.com/health/guides/nutrition/phosphorus-in-diet/overview.html" target="_blank">this article</a> from the New York Times the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for phosphorus is as follows:<br />
<strong><em>- Children aged 0-6 months:-</em></strong> 100mg.<br />
<strong><em>- Children aged 7-12 months:-</em></strong> 275mg.<br />
<em><strong>- Children aged 1-3 years:-</strong></em> 460mg.<br />
<em><strong>- Children aged 4-8 years:-</strong></em> 500mg.<br />
<em><strong>- Children aged 9-18 years:-</strong></em> 1250mg.<br />
<strong><em>- Adults aged 19 years and over:-</em></strong> 700mg.<br />
<em><strong>- Pregnant or lactating women aged 18 years or under:-</strong></em> 1250mg.<br />
<em><strong>- Pregnant or lactating women aged 19 years or over:-</strong></em> 700mg.</p>
<p><strong>WHICH FOODS CONTAIN PHOSPHORUS?</strong></p>
<p>The best sources of phosphorus are <a href="http://blog.freefitnesstips.co.uk/6-top-protein-sources.html" target="_self">high protein foods</a> such as <a href="http://blog.freefitnesstips.co.uk/meat-and-weight-loss.html" target="_self">meat</a>, <a href="http://blog.freefitnesstips.co.uk/milk-and-weight-loss.html" target="_self">milk</a> and nuts.  The list below contains some of the richest sources of this <a href="http://blog.freefitnesstips.co.uk/category/diet-and-nutrition/micronutrients" target="_self">micronutrient</a>:<br />
<strong><em>- Beef Fillet Steak:-</em></strong> 265mg per 100g.<br />
<em><strong>- Brazil Nuts:-</strong></em> 590mg per 100g.<br />
<strong><em>- Cheddar Cheese:-</em></strong> 520mg per 100g.<br />
<em><strong>- Chicken:-</strong></em> 190mg per 100g.<br />
<strong><em>- Milk:-</em></strong> 100mg per 100g.</p>
<p><strong>WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF GETTING TOO MUCH PHOSPHORUS?</strong></p>
<p>Excessive phosphorus levels in the body are extremely rare and in most cases only occur in people with kidney disease.  However, when phosphorus levels do become too high it can lead to:<br />
<em>- Calcification of the soft tissues (which causes them to harden and prevents them from functioning properly).<br />
- Diarrhea.<br />
- Reduced absorption of calcium, iron, <a href="http://blog.freefitnesstips.co.uk/magnesium-explained.html" target="_self">magnesium</a> and zinc.</em></p>
<p><strong>WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF NOT GETTING ENOUGH PHOSPHORUS?</strong></p>
<p>Phosphorus deficiencies are also uncommon because it can be found in a wide variety of foods.  However, alcoholism, <a href="http://blog.freefitnesstips.co.uk/what-is-diabetes.html" target="_self">diabetes</a>, liver disease and other medical conditions can inhibit your ability to absorb this nutrient which then causes a deficiency.  This can lead to the following negative symptoms:<br />
<em>- Anemia (a low number of red blood cells in the body).<br />
- Confusion.<br />
- Loss of energy.<br />
- Increased susceptibility to infections.<br />
- Osteomalacia (softening of the bones).<br />
- Poor appetite.<br />
- Weakness.</em></p>
<p><strong>PHOSPHORUS SUMMARY</strong></p>
<p>Whilst calcium often gets the credit for building strong bones and teeth, phosphorus is just as important in this area.  Fortunately, it can be found in a wide variety of foods so you should have no trouble getting the RDA.</p>
<p>Now I want to hear your thoughts.  Were you aware of the impact phosphorus has on your bones and teeth?  Did you know it had so many other roles in the body?  Leave a comment and let me know.</p>

<p><strong>WHAT IS PHOSPHORUS?</strong></p>
<p>Phosphorus is an important <a href="http://blog.freefitnesstips.co.uk/category/diet-and-nutrition/micronutrients/minerals/macrominerals" target="_self">macromineral</a> that keeps your bones and teeth strong.  It is the second most abundant macromineral in the human body, accounting for around 1% of an average adult&#8217;s bodyweight.  In this article I am going to look at phosphorus in greater detail and explain why you should ensure it is part of your diet.</p>
<p><strong>WHEN WAS PHOSPHORUS DISCOVERED?</strong></p>
<p>Phosphorus was accidentally isolated in 1669 by German alchemist Hennig Brand.  He was attempting to convert metals into gold and was convinced that urine was the key to doing this.  In one of his experiments Brand heated and purified urine and unintentionally isolated the glow in the dark substance phosphorus.  The discovery of phosphorus is notable because it is the first time someone had discovered an element that was unknown to ancient people.</p>
<p>Prior to Brand&#8217;s discovery there are many possible historical references to phosphorus with a number of ancient manuscripts referring to a material that glowed in the dark.  However, Brand was the first person to record the process of isolating this element.</p>
<p><strong>HOW DOES YOUR BODY USE PHOSPHORUS?</strong></p>
<p>In an average person phosphorus makes up around 1% of the total bodyweight.  The majority of phosphorus in the body (around 85%) can be found in the bones and teeth where it bonds with <a href="http://blog.freefitnesstips.co.uk/calcium-explained.html" target="_self">calcium</a> to form calcium phosphate.  The remaining 15% is found in the cells and bodily fluids where it is used to perform various functions.</p>
<p>The main function of phosphorus is to assist in the formation of strong bones and teeth.  However, it does much more than just support healthy bones and teeth.  Phosphorus is also responsible for:<br />
<em>- Activating the <a href="http://blog.freefitnesstips.co.uk/what-are-b-vitamins.html" target="_self">B-complex vitamins</a>.</em><br />
<em>- Assisting with almost every chemical reaction in the human body.</em><br />

<p>AM
<ul>
<li>Stair Climbing</li>

</ul>
</ul>
<p>PM
<ul>
<li> joint mobility drills, 5 mins</li>
<li>dynamic warm-up</li>
<ul>
<li>reverse lunge with twist x 10 reps/side</li>
<li>side lunge with twist x 10 reps/side</li>
<li>inch worm x 6</li>
<li>Russian twist x 10</li>
<li>t-push-up x 7 each side</li>
</ul>
<li>Glute and Ab body weight work</li>
<ul>
<li> glute bridge x 20</li>
<li>swinging plank x 5 reps/side</li>
<li>bird dog x 20</li>
<li>Hindu push-up x 10</li>
<li>single leg glute bridge x 20/leg</li>
<li>swinging plank x 5 reps/side</li>
<li>fire hydrant x 20 reps/leg</li>
<li>Hindu push-up x 10 reps</li>
</ul>
<li>kettlebell swing x 20 reps</li>
<li> kettlebell snatch test, 100 reps in under 5 minutes using a 24kg kettlebell</li>
<ul>
<li>this took me 4:30 minutes to complete and then about 3 minutes to pick myself off the ground!</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<p>So as you can see I did my stairs in the morning. I don&#8217;t run the stairs, I just walk up them at a brisk pace and sometimes take two steps at a time. The idea here is just to sneak in some extra conditioning work so I keep my weight down. Plus it never hurts to strengthen your legs!</p>
<p>In the afternoon I had planned on doing a proper kettlebell workout but didn&#8217;t have as much time as I hoped for. So, when time is short just increase the intensity! All the body weight work was just a warm-up. Then the one set of swings to make sure my hips are firing. The &#8220;workout&#8221; if you will was simply doing as many snatches as possible before I almost passed out. It was quick for sure, but man was that tough!</p>
<p>This day of exercise did the trick, I was still hot and sweating a bit when I went to bed last night!</p>

<p>NOTHING</p>
</p>
<p>the<em> Quality</em> of the&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; </p>
<p>Color </p>
<p>&amp; Developer</p>
</p>
<p>and that’s it</p>
</p>
<p>there are no tricks and no secret information Hair Stylists have </p>
<p>None - Zip - Zero</p>
<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p>
<p> Applying the color to the hair through a bottle or the more proper method of using a tint bowl and a brush is about the only other major difference I think there is. Using a Tint brush you can apply pressure to the strands which forces the hair color into the strands and produces a more even color , in my humble opinion. Every top Colorist in the world use this method for that reason. </p>
<p>Procedures change in the hair color world for a reason. Usually that reason is -&#160; “THEY WORK BETTER”</p>
<p>Just a heads up to many of you who love the Wella Koleston Perfect line of hair color, we have been missing 4 complete pages off the new chart of colors</p>
<p>I can’t believe it, but it now explains a huge question I had wondering why no one was ordering these particular tones. What a dingbat I am, and this won’t be the last time.</p>
<p>The BRV Series&#160; which you see here is a Brown-Red-Violet… a gorgeous warm brown, I wouldn’t say the Red-Violet is anything monumental just very subdued – perfect – these are all amazing colors, if you want more of a jolt of either the red or the violet you would use this as the base of your formula. </p>
<p>Lets say you want a Level 6 BRV as your “<strong><em>desired color”,</em></strong> with more of a<strong><em> jolt of Violet </em></strong>to it than just this mellow version they give you.&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; </p>
<p> I would use:&#160; <strong>1 ounce of 7BRV</strong> ( because of how dark the colors run)&#160; </p>
<p>+ <strong>1/2 ounce of 0/66VV</strong> (violet booster) = </p>
<p>most likely with 20 Volume ( must answer the Killer8 to know that)</p>
<p>&#160;<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_cL0mg021W-0/S6IesjUhQ4I/AAAAAAAAB_8/Kxn6lKh5xwU/s1600-h/WellaKP2010chart1666.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Wella KP 2010 chart166" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_cL0mg021W-0/S6Ies5nzahI/AAAAAAAACAA/T6gHtrZroHM/WellaKP2010chart166_thumb4.jpg?imgmax=800" width="391" height="480" /></a></p>
<p>Now on the other hand if you basically wanted a nice Level 5 BRV but with a little punch more of RED, I would choose a Base of </p>
<p><strong><em>6BRV- 1 ounce</em></strong> ( we called this color <em><strong>Heather </strong></em>for years) and then add to that </p>
<p>+<strong><em>1/2 ounce to 1 ounce of&#160; 6/45 – 6RRV</em></strong>. </p>
<p>Both of these colors have a corresponding color in Color Touch, which is what is so easy to use to refresh the ends. </p>
<p>Back when my hair was miraculously groomed, I would always refresh my lengths 2 weeks after the main color. Which is exactly what all those celebrities with their never-ending gorgeous looking hair do. . . I would show up at their door with my entire mobile hair color silver metal Case ( its made to hold rifles, but worked great for my ‘traveling color business’ which was a large part of my business just before my diagnosis . We all know reds fade quicker than any other color…but using them in this manner with BROWN as the main hue, that problem won’t be an issue.</p>
<p>The next page forgotten was a page I really hesitate putting on, as I swear to you in 10 years I never used a one. Its the “G” page = GOLD. If clients wanted some “gold” in their hair color I would use a “N” series color.&#160; </p>
<p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_cL0mg021W-0/S6IetW1WrZI/AAAAAAAACAE/lOF9zxmYcec/s1600-h/WellaKP2010chart1649.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: 0px" border="0" alt="Wella KP 2010 chart164" align="left" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_cL0mg021W-0/S6Ietvk0ctI/AAAAAAAACAI/Ab9zjwAkSrI/WellaKP2010chart164_thumb7.jpg?imgmax=800" width="297" height="360" /></a></p>

<p>&#160;</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>I know it might seem odd to you but I really want to try to get through to everyone, that when you are planning your formula for your next hair color or any hair color for that matter…the idea is not to pick out the color <strong><em>you want</em></strong> from hair color swatches. The idea is to pick colors that will <strong><em>counter the problems</em></strong> you are having…. say if your DURP is brassy, yet you want a pleasant – more mellow – GOLD……..you do not pick colors from this page of the chart. That would be disastrous , I would choose “N” series if the brass isn’t too bad if it is then I would pick a color from either the /71 BA series&#160; ( Brown Ash)- which is my most used category, it fights most issues and turns out beautiful browns. Also the next page which is the&#160; /07 NB series – which stands for NEUTRAL BROWN&#8230;awesome colors that fight most common issues the NB series&#8230;Neutral Brown a very straight-up Brown – the Frosty Brown collection.</p>
<p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_cL0mg021W-0/S6IeuL_vdQI/AAAAAAAACAM/JF6v0th9qnE/s1600-h/WellaKP2010chart1634.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Wella KP 2010 chart163" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_cL0mg021W-0/S6IeugFgfDI/AAAAAAAACAQ/l50EegaHVqo/WellaKP2010chart163_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="394" height="484" /></a> </p>
<p>This Series came out right about the same time the /71 BA series came out - - everyone was thrilled as they had finally put in 1 tube what every person I know was making. I mean mixing &gt; 1/2 ounce of 8N and 1/2 ounce of 8 B </p>
<p>= makes 8NB. </p>
<p>Which was one of my most commonly used combo’s. </p>
<p>Another great brown? </p>
<p>7N&#160; + 7A + 7 M + 7B&#160; = 7BAMN………..awesome and it covers gray wonderfully if needed, or the color in general is superb. No need to switch it up for non-gray or Gray. Just a good-to-know straight-up-Bombshell BROWN&#160; . . . just trying to show you how to formulate not using the prettiest hair color swatches. </p>
<p>At my stations in the Salon - these color swatch boards were prohibited. If you don’t understand how they are made and how the Level system works then they are really pointless.&#160; The way to get clients hair the exact right color they want is by using colors that fight the hairs objectionable tendencies, such as ‘reds’-‘oranges’ ‘brass’ etc.. and for that you must choose the color swatches that are not very “pretty”….they can’t be…in order to fight “red tones” the brown needs to be ‘green’ based, not exactly a pleasing-to-the-eye color.&#160; </p>
<p>I feel,&#160; that is where a lot of the problems stem from with both Crib Colorists &amp; Stylists getting the end hair color&#160; &gt; wrong. So I will just keep trying to explain it in different ways – hoping everyone will continue to read it. What I discovered when I&#160; learned cosmetic chemistry – was – to just keep reading the part I didn’t understand over and over -&#160; I swear it will sink in, I know that because a whole lot of Crib Colorists have been born from that exact method. <strong><em>Repetition breeds comprehension</em></strong>, is my line.</p>
<p> And lastly we have Wella’s RED’s which is pretty much a straighter shooter:</p>
<p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_cL0mg021W-0/S6Ieu6Jk-FI/AAAAAAAACAU/hPtohZ5wGDw/s1600-h/WellaKP2010chart1654.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" border="0" alt="Wella KP 2010 chart165" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_cL0mg021W-0/S6IevV91jfI/AAAAAAAACAY/ZH_SjhAqk2g/WellaKP2010chart165_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" width="378" height="464" /></a></p>
<p> I use and love every red on this page, Wella is famous for having the best “reds” in the business, and I agree whole heartedly. They are all beautiful. The categories of red are:</p>
<ul>
<li>R &#8212; Red</li>
<li>GR – Gold/Red</li>
<li>RG &#8212; Red/Gold</li>
</ul>
<p>Which ever letter is ‘first’ is the more predominant color in the tube. I mean to me a GR and an RG are completely different. I almost always will use the R and RG categories – because of my dislike for “gold” in most heads of hair. The reason I don’t like Gold? Clients don’t like it, its not really flattering to anyone’s skin or eyes either.</p>
<p>Any questions head to the group </p>
<p><a href="http://groups.google.com/group/killerstrands">KillerStrands GOOGLE Group</a></p>
<p>Wella came out with this new technology a few years back, for their “RED” colors calling it: “INNOVATIVE&#160; REDVOLUTION”:&#160; meaning their red shades contain a 5 sided molecular structure that reflects red light and provides a deeper and more dense penetration of color into hair structure. As usual I didn’t believe it at first, but once I began using it, they were pretty right-on. Don’t go too much on the EXACT colors you see on these charts here, if your computer monitor isn’t set to the exact same numbers as mine is – well its not going to look the same</p>
<p>But I am so glad to bring these all to you, so you may have the complete picture of colors offered.</p>
<p>If you have questions about your hair color formula, for 2 weeks now I have been having many customers , purchase the quantity of tubes of color they would like to use ( plus IN-DEPTH &amp; Gleam) – then, at checkout ( in box at top where you can add comments or questions) : leaving the colors blank and answering the basic KILLER 8 questions so I will make the decision of your formula for you.&#160; Its been working out well, so if you have been hesitant with your first Crib Colorist adventure, right now is the time to do it as you get my personal evaluation. You must be 100% honest about your hair answers, or the answer won’t be as perfect for you. I don’t have time any longer for the back and forth emails – which is why I had to take the consultations down. </p>
<p>So give that a try if you feel like becoming a crib colorist.</p>
